    About this ebook

    Mein Name ist John Taylor. Ich bin Privatdetektiv in der Nightside, der finsteren, kaputten Stadt im Herzen Londons. Wo nie die Sonne scheint und Lust und Schrecken immer zu haben sind - wenn man sie bezahlen kann. Kein hübsches Ausflugsziel, kein guter Wohnort. Man sollte also meinen, es könnte mir egal sein, daß sie bald zerstört werden wird, und zwar von keiner Geringeren als meiner lange verschwundenen, nicht ganz menschlichen Mutter. Aber es ist mir nicht egal. Ich bin hier geboren, ich lebe hier, und ich habe Freunde hier. Sie sind vielleicht nicht alle gesellschaftsfähig, aber sie sind nichtsdestoweniger meine Freunde. Ich weiß, daß nur ich meine Mutter aufhalten kann. Der Trick besteht darin, es zu tun, ohne die Prophezeiung zu erfüllen, die besagt, nicht nur die Nightside sei ungeachtet meiner Mühen zum Untergang verurteilt, sondern auch der Rest der Welt ...

      The thrilling conclusion to the Lilith War storyline. This book is absolute mayhem. Lilith's invasion of the Nightside causes so much death and destruction. Her power is truly without equal.

      I thought the ending was nicely done. I didn't feel cheated in the lease bit.
    • 3/5
      i am glad he seems to be done with this story line for a bit. I think I was done. I still enjoyed it but wished I had not read all the books in a row. i might have liked it more.
    • 4/5
      It feels like the ongoing trauma has been buttoned up quite nicely.
      Green gives you a lot in his books, and he has a great love for cliches'. It somehow works for him though. He's able to give us a really great series that get you thinking on all manner of thoughts on: religion, human depravity, morbid humor, a little folklore or histories/prophecies. The list just goes on.
      Check this out if you're not to squeamish.
      Cheers!

      I can't get enough of this series! I don't know what i'm going to do when I finally catch up to the end!
    • 5/5
      Another great addition to this series. once again I didn't see the ending coming. but I am glad this plotline is over because it was get a bit monotonous. can't wait to see what else is going to happen in the Nightside now.
    • 4/5
      Lilith is back and is making her move! She needs John to complete her vision - and will call in all favours and allegiances owed to her. Of course, John doesn't this want this to happen -and to do this, he needs to call all the help he can get.Onto the review - Its an excellent ending to John Taylor’s Story. Again, these stories are not high on literary value. They are fast, easy, full of gore, a perfect mix for beach reading. Its fairly typical in plot - John needs to fix a problem, calls up a bunch of acquaintances to do, goes on a spree of violence, and than fixes the problem.
    • 3/5
      This is a review of the audiobook version (no time to read these days!):The book that concludes the wider story of the series - the return of John's mother Lilith. She's back and immediately starts thrashing the Nightside. For the first few frantic chapters all hell breaks loose. Then, in an odd bit of story-pacing, John goes wandering off looking for people to help him stop Lilith. The impending sense of doom is lost and the story meanders for a bit before sparking back into life towards the end. I find Simon R. Green's books a but, er... lop-sided, at the best of times but this one was the most skewed. As always he provides a suitably apocalyptic ending and brings in all the most important characters for the big showdown. A bit predictable but entertaining enough all the same. Not anywhere near the same league as 'Paths Not Taken' or even 'Hex and the City' but still a fitting end to the story. One wonders where the Nightside can go next...The narrator Marc Vietor is on fire, providing decent enough voices for the noirish John Taylor, the demonic Lilith, repulsive Deadboy et al. Top performance!
    • 3/5
      All sorts of pieces came together in this book. It would make absolutely no sense at all without having read the one before it, so it looses one star for that (I like my books to be at least a bit stand-alone!). But it was good--though completely improbable--and lots of fun!
    • 3/5
      Eh, This book and the previous one in the series, Paths Not Taken, aren't as enjoyable as the earlier books. They're not bad, but they don't introduce many new characters, they re-hash a lot of stuff, and ultimately make you wonder "Why is John Taylor doing some of this?" There's a few scattered references to other works that are amusing.I'm hoping this is the last we'll hear about Lilith.The writing in the series in general reminded me a bit of some of the weird short stories I've been reading by authors like Jay Lake. It's some of the characterisations and elements of story I like, However, Lilith just doesn't impress me much.I'll try reading one or two more. I'm hoping that they'll get a bit like s
    • 4/5
      Lillith has landed and she knows no fear or respect of anything. Every moment that passes takes John closer to the apocalyptic future that he has seen, seemingly impossible to avoid. He still has to try to save the Nightside and everyone in it.Just excellent. Now that this storyline arc is finished(?), I am very eager to see where the series goes. Love the badass characters, love the weird ooginess of parts of this world, just love it!
    • 4/5
      Lilith has returned to the nightside and is trashing the place in preperation to remaking it and the world into her own warped image. Only John Taylor can lead his friends to stop her. A good read.
    • 5/5
      This is the 6th book in the Nightside series. All I can say is "wow" this was a good book.Lilith has returned to the Nightside and it is up to John Taylor to stop her from destroying first the Nightside and then the world. The only problem is John knows that a future exists in which the whole world is destroyed and that future is getting more and more certain by the day. How will John oppose Lilith without destroying the world in the process?For such a slim novel, there was a lot in this book. As usual non-stop action, continuous creativity, and lots and lots of fighting. I couldn't put this book down and the whole time I was holding my breath trying to decide how and if the Nightside would be saved.Dead Boy returns in this book along with the Oblivion brothers, Shotgun Suzie, Walker, and Eddie Razor. The Powers are out in force seeking to save their city. It was an awesome book and ends quite nicely. If I didn't own the next two books in the series I would be asking myself if this is the end of the series. Since it's not, I am very curious about what the next few books are about. I am glad that there was some closure for this book and I am excited to see what the next book will bring.
    • 5/5
      This sixth book in the series returns us to the fantastically awful world of the Nightside, a hidden world within London where it is always 3am. Our hero, John Taylor, knows the identity of his dreaded mother and desperately tries to prevent the future his discovery portends in a faceoff between mother and son. Stunningly creative, the Nightside grabs the imagination and keeps you coming back for more in a noir detective series that really is all about the night. SPOILER: I love the legend of Lilith, and this one brings a whole new fascinating layer to the mix. Ponder the questions of what is a god and what are the consequences of demanding uncompromised freedom. Then enjoy the story!
    • 4/5
      John is desperately trying for futures he doesn't want not to happen. He's fighting Lilith who is back and wants to reshape the Nightside to her original vision which could eliminate humanity from the world and destroy most of John's friends. He's battling huge odds and trying hard to keep himself and his friends alive.It's interesting, twisted and I really got caught up in the fights and problems the characters had. Kudos to Simon R Green for writing such an entertaining series. Apparently there's a sequel but this finishes up John's story arc well.
    • 5/5
      This book is the culmination of the Nightside series (although it isn't the final book in the series). The relationship between John and his incredibly powerful mother comes to a head and the fate of the Nightside, which has been poised between destruction and salvation, is finally decided.
    • 4/5
      Lillith's son is in lots of trouble. Mummy is coming back to town, and she's big enough and mean enough to totally rewrite the rules of reality.It's fast paced and interesting, lots of twists, nooks and crannies. You wonder just how the hero will survive, indeed, if I didn't know there were more books in the series I'd think he might not survive.The book uses an interesting device for introducing the protagonist - lots of "Of course he hates me because of..." with references to things we don't know about. It made me check it really was part 1, but once I'd got used to it, it's quite a nice way of giving us back (and side and forward) story in a less clunky way.
    • 4/5
      Although this is the first in a series, it's written with lots of references back to events we've not read about. It threw me a little at first (I checked twice to make sure it really is the first in a series), but after a while you settle into it and it works well - you find out things about the character without it being an obvious introduction.The story is fast paced and fun, with twists and turns galore. Only the fact I knew there were more to come let me start working out what was going to happen (and even then I got it less than half right).
    • 4/5
      First of all,let me say that you absolutely MUST read the Nightside series in order or you're going to be incredibly LOST by the time you get to this one. To me, each book in the series was worth waiting for, and I looked forward to each new release as much as I look forward to each new installment of the Harry Potter series. I absolutely love the Nightside books and they started me on the whole steampunk/fantasy/sci-fi road of books that I had never read before I picked up the first of the Nightside stories. If you are at all into any of those 3 types of fiction, you're going to really enjoy these books. Horror readers may also like these books, to a point. Now on to this installment. The hero of this series is John Taylor, PI in that hidden area of London called the Nightside. At the beginning of the series, John travels in a timeslip where he has a nasty vision of the Apocalypse that somehow he has brought about, and sees his friends as his enemies or worse. He also knows this has something to do with his mother (I won't say more about that in case you haven't read the other books). Suffice it to say, she's back and she's in the Nightside, and has decided to recreate it the way she wants it, and screw everyone else. So now John Taylor has a dilemma: how does he defeat her, but not bring on the apocalypse that he has seen in his future?Absolutely LOVE the author's writing, often a cross between really bad joke-type humor and the old-fashioned noir type PI novels. You have to love an author who doesn't take himself so seriously that he makes the reading fun!
